Ten Reasons for Secession

By J. Michael Hill

A 2009 Zogby poll revealed that about one out of every five Americans believe that States have a right to peaceably secede from the United States and become independent republics. A similar percentage says that they would support a secession movement in their own State.

The greatest support for secession came from the South, where almost 26% of those polled supported a peaceful break with Washington, DC.

What is behind this increasing support for secession and independence? Perhaps the answer is this: hard reality has finally trumped the myth of a sacred, indivisible union. In other words, many citizens are beginning to see the hand writing on the wall, and the message is alarming.

There are at least ten good reasons for Southern secession in early 21st-century America:

1. The U. S. government is an organized criminal enterprise; secession is the only way to return to legitimate government.

2. The U. S. economy is failing; secession makes economic sense.

3. The South’s unique history and culture is worth protecting.

4. The criminal nature of the bank bailouts and the Fed.

5. A dysfunctional national electoral system, secession may be the only way to restore integrity to elections.

6. Third World immigration into the South, secession removes the federal government's interference and lack of performance.

Why This Blog?

Confederate Digest is my way of celebrating America's proud Southern heritage. This blog is dedicated to the memory of William Elisha Conn, who died April 26, 1862, as a private in the Georgia/Confederate volunteer infantry. He was only 24-years-old at the time of his death, leaving behind his grieving 19-year-old widow and two babies, one of which grew up to become my great grandfather. William Elisha was a poor tenant farmer whose ancestors came to the United States from Ireland as indentured servants. He and three of his brothers fought for freedom from governmental tyranny and in defense of their homes and families against a hostile, invading Union army. Three of the four brothers were killed; the other was captured. The four Conn brothers, plus numerous cousins and uncles, along with hundreds of thousands of brave Confederates, young and old, black and white, fought for the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution with the hope that their sacrifice would not be forgotten. Deo Vindice!
